Description

as root, i use trac-admin to create a backup using: trac-admin /var/www/trac hotcopy trac-backup

on my machine, the conf directory is 755, owned by www-data, with group www-data. on my machine, the db directory is 775+Sg owned by root, with group www-data.

in the backup, the db directory is demoted to 755. in the backup, both the db and conf directory are owned by root, with group root. i'm writing a script on my end to touchup these permissions. just thought you should know.

Milestone: 0.11.3
Owner: changed from Christopher Lenz to Remy Blank

Right, files are copied with shutil.copy2() which preserves permissions. But directories are created with a simple os.mkdir().

Seems easy enough to fix, I'll give it a shot.

(I know what comes next: file and directory ownership is not preserved either. I'll pass on that one, as this is difficult to get right cross-platform :-)

Status: newassigned

Fixed in trunk in [7678]. I'll backport the fix to 0.11.3 once 0.11.2.1 is out.
